5th Day Of Ramadan, 1438

O ye people! Eat of what is on earth, lawful and good; and do not follow the footsteps of the evil one, for he is to you an avowed enemy. For he commands you what evil and shameful, 

and that ye should say of Allah that of which ye  have no knowledge.

[Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:168-169]

O ye who believe! Eat of the good things that We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah, if it is Him ye worship.

[Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:172]

[Surah 2:185]

Do Muslims Believe In The Existence Of The Angels?

To Believe His Angels

The Belief in Angel (al-Malaikah) is the second pillar of faith in Islam.
Allah says: "The Messenger believe in what has been revealed to him from His Lord, and so do the believers. Believe in Allah, His angels and His messengers"

Sura Al-Baqarah (2:285)

It is obligatory, and in fact an essential part of faith to respect all of the angels. Therefore, it is unthinkable for Muslims to have any animosity towards any of the angels, let alone cursing them any such action is considered an act of disbelief.

Some Jews once came to the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam and told him that they had five questions for him. If he could answer all the questions satisfactorily, they would be his followers. The prophet answered the first four to their satisfaction, and then they asked the final question; There is not any prophet except that he has an angel assigned to him as a companion who brings him news from Allah (SWT). "So tell us! who is your companion?"

The Prophet (SAW) replied, : "Jibrael (Angel Gabriel) Peace be on him"

They said, " that is the one who bring down war, fighting, and punishment our enemy. "If only you had said Mika'eel, who bring down mercy, rain, and vegetation it would have been that we follow you!,

Then Allah (SWT) revealed the the reply:"Say: Who is an enemy to Jibraeel? for it is he who has brought it (their Quran) down to your hear, by Allah's leave, confirming that which was before it, and as a guidance and a mercy to the believers. Whoever is an enemy to Allah, and to His angels, and to His Messengers, and [in particular to] Jibra'eel and Mika'eel, then let him know that Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers." Sura Al Baqarah, (2:97-98)

[Related by Ahmad, Al-Tirmidhi, and Al-Nasa'e]

10th Of Muharram, 1436

The tenth day of Muharram is called 'Aashuraa.

'Ashuraa is an Arabic word meaning "the tenth" that is, the tenth of Muharram. This has been considered a thanks-giving day for several reasons:

1. On this day, Prophet Adam, A.S. was forgiven by God from his sins in eating the forbidden fruit in Paradise.

God said in the Holy Qur'an:

We said: "O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden; and eat of the bountiful things therein as (where and when) ye will; but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and trangression ."

Then did Satan make them slip from the (Garden), and get them out of the state (of felicity) in which they had been.

We said: "Get ye down, all (ye people), with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling place and your means of livelihood for a time."

Then learnt Adam from his Lord words of inspiration,  and his Lord turned towards him; for He is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:35-37

2. On this day also, Prophet Nuuh (noah) A.S. was saved from the big flood, his ark having rested on Juudii.

God said in the Holy Qur'an:

So the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains, and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest):

" O my son! embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!"

The son replied:

" I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water."

Noah said: " This day nothing can save, from the command of Allah, any but those on whom he hath mercy!"

And the waves came between them, and the son  was among those overwhelmed in the Flood.

Surah Hud, 11:42-43

3. Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) escaped from the burning fire of King Nimroad also on this day.

God said in the Holy Qur'an:

They said, "Burn him and protect your gods, if ye do (anything at all)!"

We said: "O Fire! be thou cool, and (a means of) safety for Abraham!"

Surah Al Anbiya, 21:68-69

4. And it was also on this day that the Prophet Musa (Moses) and his people, the children of Israel, were able to flee from Egypt through the Red Sea.

God said in the Holy Qur'an:

And remember, We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh  they set you hard tasks and punishments, slaughtered your sons and let your womenfolk live; therein was a tremendous trial from your Lord.

And remember, We divided the Sea for you and saved you and drowned Pharaoh's people within your very sight. 

 Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:49-50

5. Besides being a thanks-giving day, "Aashuraa has also been considered by the Shii-'ah group of Muslims as the day of the martyrdom of Imam Husin (R.A), the son of Ali, the fourth Caliph of Islam and the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), and marks the culmination of the ten days' lamentation which is observed every year by them. This day has had extreme importance to Arabs and Jews from times unknown! It is said great events have taken place on that date .

Who Is The Holy Spirit?

9 Muharram, 1436

The names and Roles of some Angels
Only few angels are mentioned by name in the Qu'ran and Sunnah. Others are mentioned either by specific names or by roles or their general nature of serving and worshiping Allah (SWT).

Among those are:

Jibreel (angel Gabriel), This is the most distinguished of the angels, and is intrusted with carrying revelation to the Prophets. This includes briging the Qu'ran to Prophet Muhammad (SAW) which is referred to in the following:

"Verily this is a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds: with it came down the Spirit of Faith and Truth to thy heart and mind, that thou mayest admonish in clear Arabic tongue."

(Sura Al-Shu'ara', 26:192-195)

Angel Jibreel is also called "the Holy Spirit" as mentioned in the Qu'ran

"Those Messengers we endowed with gifts, some above others: To one of them Allah spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to Jesus, the son of Mary, we gave Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. If Allah had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each others, after clear (signs) had come to them but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If Allah had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but Allah fulfilleth His  plan."
(Sura Al-Baqarah, 2:253)

How To Pay Zakat?

7 Muharram, 1436

Every Muslim obliged to pay minimum 2.5% of their overall income to help the needy and support the community. To strengthens the love between the poor and rich.

May Allah Almighty accept their intention and be abundant of blessing to help the needy...

VIRTUES OF ZAKAT:

Allah says in the Quran:

"The parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is that of a grain of corn. It grows seven ears and each ear has hundred grains. Allah increases manifold to whom He pleases." Al Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:261

It is stated in the Hadith that by giving Zakat the following benefits are derived:

Gain the pleasure of Allah. Increase in wealth and protection from losses. Allah's forgiveness and blessings. Protection from the wrath of Allah and from a bad death. A shelter on the Day of Judgment; Security from seventy misfortunes.

Who Is Allah?

3 Muharram, 1436

"Allah! There is no God but He, the Living, the Self-Subsisting, Supporter of all, no slumber can seize Him nor sleep, His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permits? He knows what (appears to His creatures as) before or after or behind them.

Nor shall they compass anything of His knowledge except as He wills. His Throne does extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feel No fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory)."

Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255

What Will Ye Worship After Me?

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 

Say: He is Allah, the One and Only, 

Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, 

nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.

Say ye: "We believe in God, and the revelations given to us, and th Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them and we bow to God (in Islam)"
Sura Al-Baqarah, 2:136

There ye witnesses when death appeared before Jacob? behold, he said to his sons! "What will ye worship after me?" They said: "We shall worship thy God and the God of thy fathers, of Abraham, Ismail and Isaac, the One (True) God: To Him we bow (in Islam)."
Sura Al-Baqarah, 2:133

PREORDAINMENT

We are required to believe that Allah (S.W.T.) knows everything that happens. "Indeed, Allah (S.W.T.) knows all things." [Surah Al-Anfal (8:75)]

Allah ! There is no god but He, -the Living. The self subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) 'Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge, except what He wills. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High the Supreme (in glory). [Surah Al-Surah, Al-Baqarah (2:255)]

Before bringing creation into existence, Allah (S.W.T.) wrote on a tablet all things which were to come . The Prophet (S.A.W.) said,

"Allah (S.W.T.) wrote the measures of creation 50,000 years before the creation of the heavens and earth" [Related by Muslim]

According to another hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad,

"The first thing that Allah (S.W.T.) created was the pen, and He ordered it to write everything that would occur until the Day of Judgment. " [This information is thus inscribed in what is called Al-Lawhul Mahfooz, (The Preserved Tablet)]

"And all things have We recorded in a clear record." [Surah Yasiin (36:12)]

"Nay, it is a glorious Qu'ran in a preserved tablet." [Surah Al-Burooj (85:21-22)]

"When Allah (S.W.T.) created creation, He wrote a book, which is with Him above the Throne, (it says), 'My mercy overcomes My wrath! [Sahih Al-Bukhari]

Al-Waleed ibn Ubadah entered upon his father, Ubadah while the latter was on his death-bed, and asked him for advice. 'Ubadah said, "help me to sit up." They did so, and then he said,

"My son ! You will never taste faith , nor reach the true reality of knowing Allah (S.W.T.), until you believe in Qadar (destiny), the good of it and the bad of it."

His son said, "O father! How am I to know what is the good of Qadar and (what is) the evil of it?"

Father said, "You should know that whatever missed you could never have befallen you, and whatever befell you could never have missed you....O son! If you die without being [certain] on this, you would enter the Fire." [Recorded by Ahmad]

"Allah (S.W.T.) created the creation according to His knowledge. He appointed measures for them and laid out life spans. Nothing was hidden from Him before He created them, and He knew all of what they would do before He created them.

He commanded them to obey Him and forbade them from disobeying Him. Everything runs according to His Qadar and will, and His will becomes effective.

The servants have no will except that which Allah (S.W.T.) wills them to have, for whatever Allah wills is, and whatever He does not will is not.

Allah (S.W.T.) guides whom He wills and grants him protection and well-being out of His grace. And He leaves to stray whom He wills, and forsakes him and puts him to trial out of justice.

Mankind acts in whatever way he wills, between His grace and justice. Allah (S.W.T.) is exalted above partners and rivals. No one can repel His Qadar, nor postpone His command, nor predominates against His Order. We believe in all of this, and are certain that all are form Him."

Did Allah have a son?

They say:

"Allah hath begotten a son":

Glory be to Him, - Nay,

To Him belongs all

That is in heavens

And on earth:

Everything

Renders worship to Him.

Surah Al-Baqara, 2:116

Did the Prophets believe in Allah?

Says ye:

"We believe in Allah,

And the revelation given to us, and to Abraham,

Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes,

And that given to Moses and Jesus

And that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord:

We make no difference

Between one and another of them:

And we bow to Allah In Islam)."

Surah Al-Baqara, 2:136

23 Shawwal, 1435

"My Lord! bestow on them they Mercy even as they Cherished me in childhood."

Your Lord knoweth best what is in hearts: if ye do deeds of righteousness, verily He is Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him again and again (in true penitence).

[Surah Al Isra, 17:23-25]

O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and A female, and made you into Nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other).

Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah (SWT) is he who is the most righteous of you. And Allah (SWT) has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

[Surah Al-Hujurat, 49:13]

Action or deeds, as Allah's Messenger (SAW) said:

Practices that are well documented and authenticated:

"But those have faith and work righteousness, they are companions of the Garden"

Therein shall they abide (forever)

[Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:82]

And remember We took a Covenant from the children of Israel (to this effect):

Worship none but Allah; treat with kindness your parents and kindred, and orphans and those

In need; speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayer; and practice regular charity. 

Then did ye turn back, except a few among you, and ye backslide (even now). 

[Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:83]

We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of Messengers; we gave Jesus, The son of Mary , clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit.

It is that whenever there comes to you  a Messenger with what ye yourselves desire not,

Ye are puffed up with pride? Some ye called imposters, and others ye slay!

[Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:87]

5 Shawwal, 1435

O Children of Isarael! call to mind the special favour 

Which I bestowed upon you, and that I preferred you 

To all others (for My Message). 

Then guard yourselves against a Day 

When one soul shall not avail another. 

Nor shall compensation be accepted from her, 

Nor shall intersession profit her, 

Nor shall anyone be helped (from outside).

And remember that Abraham was tried 

By his Lord with certain Commands, 

Which he fulfilled: He said: 

"I will make thee an Imam to the Nations."

He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" 

He answered: But My Promise is not

Within the reach of evildoers."

Remember We made the House a place of assembly

For men and a place of safety; and 

Take ye the Station of Abraham as a place of prayer;

And We covenanted with Abraham and Isma'il, 

That they should sanctify My House for those 

Who Compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, 

Or prostrate themselves (therein in Prayer).

And Remember Abraham said:

"My Lord, make this a City of Peace, 

And feed its People with fruits - such of them

As believe in Allah and the Last Day."

He said: "(Yea), and such as reject Faith-

For a while will grant them their pleasure, 

But will soon drive them to the torment of Fire--

An evil destination (Indeed)!"

And remember Abraham and Isma'il

Raised the foundations of the House (with this prayer):

"Our Lord! accept (this service) from us: 

For thou art the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."

"Our Lord! make of us Muslims,

Bowing to Thy (Will), and of our progeny 

A people Muslim, bowing to thy (Will);

And show us our places for the celebration of (due) rites; 

And turn unto us (in mercy); for thou art 

The Oft-Returning, Most Merciful. 

[Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:122-128]
